Been reading around 75 books per year for the last 35 years of my life

you went to high school for 35 years

Reading is only half of becoming literate. How is your writing coming along?

this but unironically

Your hot head is full of air.

I won an Emmy for a short film I wrote

is it even worth it lmao

>>nearly every screenplay from the imdb top 250
now try a screenplay from a good movie

Cool, but how's your writing coming along?

Poetry you pleb

is this n'wah srs

Sutras

75 books per year sounds ridiculous, unless you are reading just for pleasure. This means you finish a book in 4 to 5 days? I don't believe that you seriously engaged with any of the books you read, to be honest. Then again, we are on /lit, where shallow erudition is valued much more than actual understanding.

>Marx to Hitler
Pretty small spectrum.
In a few hours, when I get home, I'll give you a few years worth of new reading.

>I've studied now philosophy
>and jurisprudence, medicine
>and even, alas, Theology
>from end to end, with labor keen
>yet here, poor fool, with all my lore
>i stand no wiser that before!

>and now i've literally ran out of books to read
Time to read japanese schlock.

So let me gauge your wisdom: What is the meaning of life? How should one behave?

If you were to have read 2600+ books, and of the things you say, you'd be able to write whatever nonfiction tome you desire, both how and why.
Which you aren't doing, so believe you haven't actually read the right stuff, nor have you apperceived them.

Nope. You just wasted 35 years of your life.

75 books p/y isn't actually that much you pleb, it's quite manageable - even with 'seriously engaging' - or it would be if you would spend less time on here/youtube/the internet in general; you would be surprised

time to learn you favorite play/epic poem by heart, OP

But did you read my diary desu

(OP)
Anything to show for it or was it just a waste of time?

>from Marx to Hitler
That leaves out a lot of people. Apply yourself.
It's an ok anime, I don't get the hype.

Start learning different languages kiddo. Or maybe start writing.

> this picture is only on Veeky Forums
Yo what film? Also read some history books and eastern philosophy, even newly released books

>Is this it?
nah. read the mlp fallout fanfic. that's the final boss

>i am 50 yo
>i post memes on Veeky Forums
FUCK

Reading is re-reading

you’re 35 and still have such low C that you save repulsive incel pictures and shitpost on Veeky Forums, asking 16-20 year old losers if you’ve ascended

any comments on this?

Hows your life?

looks boring and dry like your soul

This and the Unfunnies, Op. Ask /co/ if they can storytime it. They love it.
